I would say that something is wrong with your app. Maybe a corrupted file. It's the first time I hear about this problem.

Can you simulate this in a small program? Ie: First SELECT SQL, use theresult again in a different area, etc. Just this and have the same behavior?

As a suggestion that will not make your code work if it doesn't but it's a good practice:

Never hard code area numbers. Always open your tables in 0. Ie: USE ... IN 0 or
SELECT 0 and USE ...

This way your code doesn't depend on the hardcoded area numbers and you avoid a nasty bug: you never close (by mistake) a table by opening another in the same area.
